This comment sections is a hot mess.
What I want to see is better queer creators tell our stories because Lee Daniels, Ilene Chaiken and I. Marlene King are horrible at it. Every one of them have fallen into the LGBT tropes syndrome including kill the gays, have lesbian or gay characters sleep with the opposite sex or in both King and Chaiken’s cases…
So much this. Whenever mediocre minority-led art gets elevated it’s like saying “It’s okay, we didn’t expect you to do well. It’s enough that you tried.” And when good minority-led art gets praised as good black/latino/asian/female/LGBT art instead of just good art it’s like they’re saying “We’ve gotta keep you in a…
Mate, when your husband who is the president of the US of A gets blown the fuck away in front of you and the entire country watches you bury him on national TV, and you spend the rest of your life being scrutinized, idolized, and subjected to 80 billion conspiracy theories about said husband’s death (some even put…
Why can’t these writers have this type of discussion without making shit up? Yes, Hollywood needs more diversity. And yes, Manchester by the sea is about a white dude - but it’s also a great fucking movie. The two are not mutually exclusive. And I may be a Latin American woman but that doesn’t mean I can only relate…
Even though I agree with almost everything that Kara, Clover and Rich said in this post, it’s beyond unprofessional for Kara to do that. As you said, it wasn’t attacking or mean-spirited! I just don’t get it. If you want to go after commenters, go after the many that spew hateful bullshit everywhere! Not the ones that…
Calm down.
Katherine’s boss, upon seeing how dispiriting and time consuming it is to walk to another building everyday to use it segregated bathroom, does away with bathroom segregation at NASA just like that.
I say this a lot but I too feel like the emotional intricacies of what it means to be a white dude have been covered extensively. We have a movie about a sad rich white guy and a movie about a sad poor white guy. We’ve had movies about evil white guys and benevolent white guys. The full spectrum of their humanity has…
Because feelings.
I’m not going to stand here and defend Hell or High Water’s lack of diversity, but I did find the way they incorporated racism into the film to be interesting. One of the four main characters is a Native American named Alberto (played by Gil Birmingham) who is a Texas Ranger. Jeff Bridges’s character, the old Ranger…
It breaks my heart that some of the same people who voted for Obama voted for Trump. Like, a theoretical Black president was fine, but after 8 years of the reality, along with him not being able to blow rainbows and diamonds out of his ass, coupled with subconscious panic over the future of a white minority,…
That got me, as well as “The President is always asking staff to bring their babies and young kids by for a visit.” SOB.
“‘I love that picture,’ the President said to me when he saw this one hanging on the walls of the West Wing. Truth be told, he says that about every picture that features Malia or Sasha.”
My favorite part of the Obama legacy is going to be everyone forgetting that Republicans did absolutely nothing for the American people during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and say it “could have been better”
Shame all he largely achieved in his Second Term was looking good in photos due to a deadlocked political system that doesn’t work.
As stomachs knot in anticipation of next month’s inauguration, Official White House photographer Pete Souza has relea…
